    /**

     * Inverse of Normal distribution function

     * SYNOPSIS:
     *
     * double x, y, ndtri();
     *
     * x = ndtri( y );
     *
     * DESCRIPTION:
     *
     * Returns the argument, x, for which the area under the
     * Gaussian probability density function (integrated from
     * minus infinity to x) is equal to y.
     *
     *
     * For small arguments 0 < y < exp(-2), the program computes
     * z = sqrt( -2.0 * log(y) );  then the approximation is
     * x = z - log(z)/z  - (1/z) P(1/z) / Q(1/z).
     * There are two rational functions P/Q, one for 0 < y < exp(-32)
     * and the other for y up to exp(-2).  For larger arguments,
     * w = y - 0.5, and  x/sqrt(2pi) = w + w**3 R(w**2)/S(w**2)).
     *
